What medicine should be used to reduce fever in children?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what medication is used to reduce fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Physical cooling methods can be used as the primary approach, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, you can usually take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen. Hello, in this case, you can have a check-up at the health examination center of a large hospital, including blood tests, coagulation function tests, and throat, nose, and ear conditions. Alternatively, you can visit the otolaryngology department of the hospital for examination.
